︎︎︎Deamweaving the grotesque




Can the figure of the monster serve as a system to glimpse at the socially constructed reality we inhabit, challenging conventional boundaries, standards, and inviting exploration into alternative narratives through embracing complexity and hybridity?

This participatory workshop invited participants to adopt the figure of the monster as a methodology for artistic, anthropological and environmental research. Starting from the Western notion of understanding the human as separate from the surroundings, we question the notion of the body as a fixed container instead of an interactive, porous and ever-changing one.



Workshop developed with Gaia D’Arrigo as part of exhibition and public program 'Dreams of dreams of dreams' an exhibition hosted by Onomatopee.
